清乾隆 粉青釉弦紋鳳耳瓶

elegantly potted with a baluster body supported on a splayed foot, sweeping up to rounded shoulders and a cylindrical neck interspersed with three horizontal fillets, all surmounted by a wide everted rim, the tall neck flanked by a pair of handles each modelled in the form of an archaistic phoenix, their crowned heads detailed with feathers terminating in furled edges, the bodies reduced to stylised S-shaped scrolls, applied overall with an attractive celadon glaze pooling into a deeper tone at the recesses, wood stand
